What set of problems does it solve that aren solved by other protocols such Q.2931, RSVP, H.245?
• Q.2931 does not allow heterogeneous connections. DSM-CC User-Network Session protocol allows an ATM connection to be one connection segment within an end-to-end heterogeneous connection containing segments of other transport technologies such as HFC and LAN. In the case of an end-to-end ATM connection however, DSM-CC associates a specific VC, among established VCs, to specific Client and Server application interfaces at both ends e.g., for viewing and control of a movie. • RSVP does not allow the use of non-IP networks or heterogeneous connections. DSM-CC User-Network Session protocol allows the transfer of data without necessarily using IP. DSM-CC allows connection segments within an end-to-end heterogeneous connection to contain difference transport technologies such as ATM, HFC, LAN etc. (Editor to establish html link to Section 2.5) • H.245 provides a single session and allows only uniform end-to-end connections. DSM-CC User-Network Session protocol uses globally unique session I
